Immediate Steps After a Fire
After ensuring everyone is safe and the fire department has cleared the property, contact your insurance company as soon as possible. They will assign an adjuster to assess the damage and process your claim.
Documenting What You Lost
This is the hardest part. If you had a home inventory before the fire, you are already ahead. If not, you will need to reconstruct what you owned from memory, bank statements, email receipts, and photos.
Tips for Reconstructing Your Inventory
- Search your email for purchase confirmation receipts
- Review bank and credit card statements for the past several years
- Look through photos on your phone for images that show your belongings
- Ask family members what they remember
- Walk through each room mentally and list what was there
